The course builds a core competency in summarizing the actions that constitute successful leadership in applying quality systems, re-writing the notes from the sessions in a format that highlights the application of quality system principles and best practices, and then creating a original plan for reporting the learning points to the leaders of their own organizations. The course builds skills in delineating which practices are the ones most effectively employed and why they were successful in healthcare.
